[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]War and Peace is a blast. There's something in it for everyone -- military battles and strategy, romance, religion, philosophy, 4D-chess-level social machinations, mysteries of freemasonry, a secret abortion, big thoughts on free will ("one man" vs. flow of history), how to interpret the various colors found in poopy diapers, etc. I've read it once in English for a class (I was a Russian Language and Literature major) and once in Russian for the fun of it (mostly while commuting on the DC Metro) (luckily for me there were footnote Russian translations for all the dialog in French). Funny thing about it is that Tolstoy set out to write about the 1825 uprising, traced the origins of that to the War of 1812, and after 1000 or so pages never actually got to writing about the 1825 business. Do I win a [i]pechen'e[/i]?[/quote] I’m impressed—I was also a Russian language major and the longest book I ever read was master and margarita. [/quote]
